FI WI CONCERNS - Michael Spence

Road Block Democracy 

Two days of road blocks in North Central Clarendon the constituency of Pearnel Charles. One good way for a constituency to jump the line and get well needed resources coming your way. By the way do we really need 63 MPs and 228 councilors because here are some people being their own councilors and MP sending a clear message and the MP and councilors will just have to follow. MPs and councilors are just excuse carriers advocating the party lines not the people's line so we end up with Jamaica the world's leading and maybe only "Roadblock Democracy". When are we going to outsource government like the building of highways I wonder if our Mandarin speaking friends would take the contract as they have a track record of accomplishing at least one thing on time and throw in the sugarcane towel before bad became worse. I have a feeling they would develop a welcomed quick plan to eliminate criminals and crime. “Hen hao" i.e. "very good" pronounced "hen haaw" in mandarin the official language of China.07/0616

Prime Minister Andrew Holness says it’s time for Jamaica to make Spanish its official second Language. On the planet earth of 7 billion people 2billion speak English and 1.5 billion speak Mandarin and 427 million speak Spanish. These are the three most important languages globally so why not the same argument for Mandarin the official Chinese language. The world is a global village so one cannot cloud their thoughts by the occurrences at their doorsteps. If you can speak Mandarin and English you immediately can communicate with half of the population on the planet. Add mandarin to school curriculum immediately so we have English, Mandarin and Spanish. Spanish is already the de-facto second language so Mandarin could be third. 07/0616
